Claim 1

Original Legal Text

1. A computer-implemented method executed on a processor for enabling instant and automatic photo sharing between computing devices, the computer-implemented method comprising: allowing a first user to operate a sender to create a plurality of images, the plurality of images including physical characteristics of a second user; transmitting a broadcast message to a plurality of receivers; determining whether a match occurs between the sender and one or more of the plurality of receivers; establishing a local area network between the sender and matched receivers; automatically and instantly transmitting the plurality of images to the matched receivers by calculating priority from the matched receivers and by calculating sequence determinations for the matched receivers resulting from the calculated priority; and upon completion of the transmittal of the plurality of images to the matched receivers, terminating the local area network.

Plain English Translation

This invention relates to a system for enabling instant and automatic photo sharing between computing devices over a local area network. The problem addressed is the need for seamless, real-time image sharing between users without manual intervention or delays. The method involves a sender device, operated by a first user, capturing multiple images that include physical characteristics of a second user. The sender transmits a broadcast message to nearby receivers, which are devices within proximity. The system determines if a match exists between the sender and one or more receivers based on predefined criteria, such as proximity or user preferences. Once a match is confirmed, a local area network is established between the sender and the matched receivers. The images are then automatically and instantly transmitted to the matched receivers. The transmission process involves calculating priority among the receivers and determining the sequence in which images are sent based on this priority. After all images are transmitted, the local area network is terminated. This approach ensures efficient, secure, and immediate sharing of photos between devices without requiring user input during the transfer process.

The system may also integrate with network infrastructure to retrieve and process mobile number data in real-time, ensuring accurate and up-to-date identification. By leveraging mobile number identification, the method enhances security and reliability in mobile communications, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or fraudulent activity. The approach is particularly useful in telecommunication networks, financial transactions, and digital authentication systems where precise device identification is critical.

Claim 3

Original Legal Text

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the match is determined based on facial feature information.

Plain English Translation

A system and method for identifying individuals using facial recognition technology addresses the challenge of accurately matching faces in varying conditions. The method involves capturing an image of a person's face using a camera or imaging device. The system then extracts facial feature information from the captured image, including key landmarks such as the eyes, nose, and mouth. This extracted data is compared against a database of stored facial feature profiles to determine a match. The comparison process may involve analyzing geometric relationships between facial features, texture patterns, or other distinguishing characteristics. The system may also account for variations in lighting, angle, or expression to improve accuracy. If a match is found, the system may trigger an action, such as granting access, logging an entry, or retrieving associated data. The method ensures reliable identification by focusing on precise facial feature analysis, reducing false positives and enhancing security in applications like surveillance, authentication, or biometric verification.

Plain English Translation

This invention relates to a system for automatically sorting and organizing images before transmission to specific recipients. The technology addresses the challenge of efficiently managing and distributing multiple images to different users based on predefined criteria, ensuring that recipients receive only the relevant images in an organized manner. The method involves determining matched receivers for a set of images created by a sender. Once these receivers are identified, the images are automatically sorted and organized according to predefined rules or criteria before being transmitted. The sorting and organization process may involve categorizing images by content, metadata, or user preferences to ensure that each recipient receives a tailored set of images. This automation reduces manual effort and improves efficiency in image distribution. The system may also include additional steps such as analyzing image content, extracting metadata, or applying user-defined filters to refine the sorting process. The organized images are then transmitted to the matched receivers, ensuring that each recipient receives only the relevant images in a structured format. This approach enhances user experience by providing a streamlined and personalized image distribution process.
